[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Web Client Bar for Actions and Column Picker

[Lynn Floyd]

I call it the Grid Bar.  Because in it is the things that you can do with the grid.  No matter if the  Action button is there or not.

In my internal notes, I refer to it as the Action/Paging Bar, but I don't love that because I think it leaves out the Configuration part.

 

Similarly, I don't love Configuration Bar because to my mind that leaves out Actions and Paging.

 

However, I think Action Row (or Action Bar, or Grid Action Bar, or the like) actually captures all the things that can go there -- Paging Actions, Configuration Actions, and Action-Actions.

As far as the code is concerned, there are some internal names in use
that may be useful for setting on a name for use by the documentation.
The copy tag interface (/eg/staff/admin/local/asset/copy_tag) is what
I'm using as an example since the grid there uses all of the UI
widgets I'm about to refer to.

Going by CSS class names in particular:

* The button(s) on the left ("New Record") in this example are "grid
menu items".
* The set of of widgets that include the paging buttons the Actions
menu (if present) and column configuration drop-down is the "column
picker"
* The items in the Actions drop-down are "grid actions"
* The whole row, including grid menu item and the column picker is the
"action row".

I offer these in case they are helpful; I do /not/ suggest that the
documentation need to follow the CSS class names.

Regards,

Galen
